Vick tells students to “develop a relationship with God”

    Can a speech from Michael Vick keep high school students away from violence? Probably not, one Martin Luther King High School student told WHYY’s Lizz Fiedler. But how cool is it to have the Eagles quarterback come to your school?

     

    Vick was there yesterday with U.S. Attorney Zane David Memeger to talk to students about making good choices and discuss his life post-dogfighting conviction.

    “Develop a relationship with God, first and foremost,” he advised them, and told them to listen to their parents. Teachers were hoping a positive message from the high-profile player will keep students on the right track.
